• Participate in the full UX lifecycle, including research, workflow analysis, concepts, interaction design, prototyping, implementation support, QA, and usability testing
• Create low- and high-fidelity prototypes, UX flows, wireframes, and interaction specifications that clearly communicate design intent
• Leverage the Alpha Design System and established UX patterns when creating new experiences, and contribute improvements when gaps are identified
• Design for data-intensive enterprise workflows involving dashboards, tables, drill-down patterns, configuration screens, and other advanced interactions
• Participate in cross-functional design reviews and incorporate feedback from product, engineering, and UX peers
• Work closely with engineers to communicate functional requirements and refine designs as needed to address technical or practical constraints
• Help maintain consistency across products by applying shared patterns, standards, and reusable interaction approaches
• Be an active contributor to the UX team by sharing work, giving constructive feedback, and helping improve team practices
• Mentoring more junior UX designers, helping them grow skills in solution design, prototyping, communication and stakeholder management.
